Bypass the right brake handle?

Post by DaylightDies »

Is there anyways to bypass the right brake handle? You have to hold it down to kick start the bike on, but I believe it is broken.

You don't need to hold any brakes when kick starting, only when electric starting.

It`s the left (rear) brake for the electric start, at least on any scooter I own.

Greetings:

All of my scooter e-starts worked with either brake held.

E-starter doesn't work for some reason.

Does the brake light come on when you pull either brake handle?
